NRA Firearms Classic Library

The National Rifle Association (NRA) Firearms Classic
Library is a collection of previously issued books about firearms, bound
in attractive ribbed leather bindings with gilt decoration and with all
edges gilt.

To the best of our knowledge, the earliest books in the
series were issued in 1995. I am grateful to reader Dick L, who recently provided me with an up-to-date list of books which he obtained from Palladium Press.

Collecting the various volumes is an interesting
endeavor, especially (and obviously) if one has an interest in firearms.
The books are of various sizes, since the original works were not
re-typeset. The majority of volumes were originally issued at something like
$39.95 per volume. Many can be found in very good condition today
for between $25 and $50, though some of the books in the series are
becoming scarce and command higher prices.
